PHANTOMS / IRON PIGS MOVE
TOWARDS ALL DIGITAL TICKETING
|
|
We
have been informed that the Lehigh Valley Phantoms will
be going to an all digital ticketing system for the
2025-26 AHL season. This means there will be no
more printed tickets. I have had several
discussions with our Phantoms ticket agent and they are
adamant that there is no longer an option for printed
tickets.
This means that members who enter the 2025-26 Phantoms
ticket drawing, later this year, will be required to
provide a cell phone number or email address.
If you win tickets, we will need this information to
transfer the tickets to you. It would also be
helpful to have an account with the Ticketmaster app.
